My new Bike has a GPR Damper on it.
The Guy didnt explain much about it. Is it worth having?
Would i be able to sell it? Cause any money i can get to help pay this thing off would be great haha
Cheers Reido

yes be able to sell it, but r6 do not come with dampers standard, you might be able to get 300-400 for it maybe.Originally Posted by Reido
Your better keeping it on for bling factor, and stop those headshakes

Dampers are for sissies. Get rid of it ASAP.
Ride fast or be last.
I am a killer blue mantee
Do you have a blue and black r6 which Im assuming you bought for a very good price?
Keep the GPR, they go for a hell of a lot more and need to be imported. Dampers are good and you have a freaking good one one.Plus it looks great.

They are nearly $1000NZD brand new, worth having if you intend to ride the bike hard. Set it on to a 'low' setting and then work your way up as you ride to see what feels best. Generally harder settings are good for high speed but make it a real bitch to maneuver once you've slowed down.

It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

LoL... Mine doesn't have one and it's still a real bitch to manouver once I've slowed down, at least compared to some other bikes... I can think of better things to spend a grand on...

Best Frenemy you could have!
When the bikes having a full headshake, in the incoming lane, and you need to finish up the overtake because of the oncoming cars... you may want to re-assess priorities
Mind you, that particular scenario was on a sadistic thou
o.O
so i should look up a manual for it then, what exactly does it do?
*starts google-ing *

Meeeeeeeeeh

o.O

If you're googling... google tank slapper and headshake...
The steering damper is what keeps it under control (subject to settings, etc)

You're the only person I know that rides like that. You're not referring to the time that the ute 'hit you'... and yet you got the DD charge?When the bikes having a full headshake, in the incoming lane, and you need to finish up the overtake because of the oncoming cars... you may want to re-assess priorities

What he said above as well. Keep the damper on. It wouldn't be there unless it was needed, if you're going to sell something, cut out a body organ instead.
Gremlin - what do you need a damper for when the front's 3 feet in the air anyhow? The only time Scoot gives a wiggle of annoyance is landing with the front slightly out of line, or when her tires are on the way out and there is a little squirming going on. But that's always done on a private road or racetrack.
Its diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; its life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.

Haha. It's more to do with front/rear weight balance, and generally only becomes a problem when the front wheel is a few cm off the ground, or comes down crossed up. My old 99 R6 needed it because I'd lowered the clamps on the forks by about 10mm to get better tip in, which then meant it was a bit nasty without the steering damper. But you already knew all that.
